      Question

      If runs of R is 70 and sum of runs of R and S is 120,

      then what may be the possible runs of U? Answer the questions based on the information given below. Six persons - P, Q, R, S, T, U are ranked according to their runs. The runs of Q is more than the runs of T. The number of persons scored more runs than Q is one less than the number of persons scored less runs than T. The runs of R is more than U, whose runs is more than S. At least two persons scored  less runs than S.

      Solution

      R + S = 120

      70 + S = 120

      S = 120 – 70 = 50.


      Possible Runs of U will between 50 and 70.

      The runs of Q is more than the runs of T. The number of persons more than Q is one less than the number of persons less than T.

      Q > ___ > _____ > ___ T > ___ ……… (I)

      ____ > Q > ___ > T > ___ > ___ ……… (II)

      The runs of R is more than U, whose runs is more than S. At least two persons have less runs than S.

      Q > R > U > S > T > P ……… (I)

      ____ > Q > ___ > T > ___ > ___ ……… (II)


      Case 2 will get discarded.


      Therefore, the final arrangement is as follow:

      Q(highest) > R > U > S > T > P(lowest)
